Coevolutionary computation: an introduction

Abstract/Description

Agent technology is synonymous with advanced computer software and a growing body of work exists on the use of adaptive techniques within the agent paradigm (eg [Kozierok & Maes 1993]). The distributed and/or multi-faceted nature of complex problem domains, such as network routing or process control, has lead to the extension of agent frameworks to multi-agent systems, both within traditional (Distributed) Artificial Intelligence (eg [O'Hare &
Jennings 1996]) and Machine Learning (eg [Weiss 1997]). Here each node/aspect of a ...
